Richard T. Slone is an English painter.

Slone was born in 1974 in Newton-in-Furness, Lancashire, a northern English town. Slone is self-taught.

Slone would spend his formative years roaming the countryside of England where his lifelong love of art was born. Richard would eventually pursue an offer to become a boxer under the guidance of boxing great Joe Frazier, who guided Richard’s boxing career until Slone’s love for art forced him from the boxing canvas, and onto the canvas upon an easel.

Slone’s art has become popular with notable collectors including Donald Trump, Hugh Hefner, Glenn Schaeffer, Muhammad Ali, Nelson Mandela and many more. His work has graced the covers of many magazines, including the Ring Magazine, KO Magazine, World Boxing Magazine and many more. His work has been used by many companies and advertising agencies, including Everlast. He is the Official Artist of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, a title he has held since the age of 23. In 2007 Slone's artwork was used by the Ultimate Fighting Championship UFC to create a clothing line named 'Ultimate'. The line consisted of limited edition clothing with Slone's artwork printed on the garments.
